“This spot stands out for its staff and reported comfort, even if arriving after hours might cause initial worries. Its location in the heart of the city's Chinatown, though noisy, places you on a pedestrian-only street with easy access to transport and a noticeable police presence, making it a strategically safe base for exploring.”
